The Long Pond Road bridge rehabilitation project over Interstate 80 in Tunkhannock Township has been completed.

The project began in April and work to rehabilitate the Long Pond Road Bridge over Interstate 80 was completed today. The rehabilitated bridge is expected to last another 50 or more years.

The project involved replacing the deck and repairing the piers on this 27 feet wide, 208 feet long concrete box beam bridge built in 1965. The bridge was posted with a 15 ton weight restriction, but now has no weight restriction.

During the project, Long Pond Road was restricted to one lane with traffic controlled by a temporary traffic signal.
